[LM_NET] TARGET: Freshman Orientation Wiki

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

I'm really wanting to implement wikis with my freshman orientation.  I plan
to use the idea of the database wiki and I'm getting that set-up; however,
I'd like to provide the students with a Library Search Wiki which will
require them to search for information in the library, in our online
catalog, and in our print reference section BEFORE inputting their research
into a Wiki.

I'd like to create a program by which the research process is built upon.  I
can assign the students to the wiki, so I can see who contributes (thus
graded) but I'm really trying to figure out how to build this assignment
into something that requires research.  I'd rather not ask questions that
have to be answered by locating a book on the shelf.  But...what??

If you have ideas, let me know.  I'll post the wiki later this weekend and
send you a link to see how this may work.  (I'll also send a link to my
Database Wiki.)

Thanks!

~Shonda
